How Animals Adapt to Heat

Animals have developed different ways of dealing with heat. Some animals, such as dogs, pant to regulate their body temperature. Other animals, such as cats, seek shady spots and stay silent as much as possible to save energy.

Tips for Keeping Pets Cool

As a pet owner, you can take various measures to keep your pets cool during the summer:

  • Make sure you have plenty of fresh water.
  • Create shady areas in the garden.
  • Use indoor fans or air conditioning.
  • Avoid walks during the hottest hours of the day.
